Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

The New Century Park was locked down.

It lasted for less than an hour.

Everything quickly returned to normal.

The tourists were all curious and kept asking Uncle Xu what had happened.

Some people were surprised to find that the "Lychee Team," which was originally in first place on the big screen, had fallen from first place and disappeared completely, while the Hanjiang City Forensic Medicine Team, which was originally in second place, took the top spot.

This change was so sudden and unexpected.

Rumors abound.

As the leader of the professional team at Hanjiang Forensic Medical College, Gao Ruxue has been the subject of much skepticism. Many people say she manipulated things behind the scenes, and some even spread rumors about her, saying that she used some shady resources to make herself a "customized champion."

Such comments did not last long.

On the big screen, a new team appeared.

This team's score skyrocketed, instantly eliminating Tato Hospital, the Avengers, and even Hanjiang Forensic Medical College, taking first place in the competition with 110 points.

The tourists were in an uproar.

"It's a rigged competition! There's something fishy going on! The match is already over, so why are there still team point calculations?"

"No, the match isn't over yet. I remember the last team came in about half an hour ago, also a streamer team. They brought cameras, and I think it was the same person from Xiao Lanshu last time!"

"Judging by the name, Su Rengaojian Team... Holy crap, they really are the last team to make it!"

The entire audience was shocked.

This team was clearly the last to enter the haunted house.

They were also the only team that did not train at all or familiarize themselves with the venue beforehand.

But it was this team that achieved a high score of 110 points, while the original first-place Lychee Team simply disappeared without a trace.

In the end, only Su Ren, Gao Jian, and the others managed to escape the haunted house.

No one has seen lychees since.

……

……

"Zhang Ze, you've pulled off another big operation."

"I originally wanted to hand over the case of that folk house owner to you, but you came up with a new case. Lychee is a late-night radio host and a public figure. This kind of thing can get really scary if it blows up."

"I need to give my superiors an explanation!"

Kuai Liang later found Zhang Ze.

The two sat down at a nearby coffee shop and ordered two Americanos.

Zhang Ze sent a video to Kuai Liang's phone.

This is a video that is only a few minutes long.

In the video, Gao Jian stands up from his computer desk in the computer room.

Lychee and Sister Huang underwent a mutation. Lychee became tall and thin, and her voice became hoarse and unlike her own. Sister Huang's face was covered in blood, and she looked like a monster emerging from behind the door. The two of them attacked Gao Jian simultaneously.

Su Ren and his two companions were completely terrified.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a scene.

Like prey targeted by lions and tigers, they instinctively felt fear and all huddled behind the giants.

Gao Jian then pulled out a talisman from somewhere.

Yes, it was still a yellow talisman with a few illegible characters written on it.

He was muttering to himself.

"A thunderous command, swift as a shooting star..."

The yellow talisman struck Sister Huang squarely in the chest. Before her, a burst of golden light appeared, and the entire scene rumbled like thunder. Her body shrank into the shape of a shrimp, twitched once, and then remained still.

Seeing the disparity in strength, Lychee was about to run away.

It was then swallowed up by the black water left behind after the doctor was electrocuted.

That's the end of the video.

……

……

"You're really something, Zhang Ze, Brother Ze. You always manage to come up with something new every now and then."

"Tell me, what movie's promotional CG is this? The special effects are pretty realistic!"

Kuai Liang turned off the video, a look of disdain on his face. "This isn't funny at all! Even if I know ghosts exist, this scene is so fake. They're trying to fool me like a three-year-old!"

Zhang Ze shrugged. "That's the truth. Do you remember that old man we met at the hospital? That old man was actually connected to the organization behind Lychee."

"This is a ghost story organization lurking in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City. They create many strange disappearances and deaths, claiming it's for healing and saving lives."

"For example, if someone suffers childhood trauma, the normal approach is to provide psychological therapy, but their method is to make people kill the source of the trauma themselves."

Upon hearing Zhang Ze's words, Kuai Liang's expression turned serious.

"Which organization is the lychee associated with?"

"We did receive some mysterious disappearances before. What they had in common was that the victims had listened to Lychee's radio program before they disappeared. We didn't think much of it at the time, but now it seems they all became Lychee's prey."

"Litchi wanted to hunt this guy named Gao Jian, but she picked the wrong target and got killed instead."

"If we accept this as the truth for now, I can accept it, but have you considered the consequences?"

"You resolve this according to your rules, and I have mine. If I can't give the residents an explanation, that's dereliction of duty. But how can you expect people to believe that someone can blast a vengeful ghost to smithereens with a single yellow talisman? Lao Tzu, the Jade Emperor? That's utter nonsense!"

Clearly, Gao Jian's sudden appearance made Kuai Liang very nervous.

An existence that is incomprehensible to ordinary people suddenly appears.

Just as within order, there are forces that disrupt order.

This is intolerable to any maintainer of order.

Take Lychee for example. Lychee hunts ordinary residents, and Kuai Liang and the police are helpless against it. They need Zhang Ze's help to barely deal with it.

There are several people like Lizhi, and there's even a dedicated organization for them.

Then another guy named Gao Jian appeared.

Good heavens, it's a complete mess, how are they supposed to play?

"You should be grateful."

"Whether it's that ghost story organization or Gao Jian, I will make them listen to me. You just need to do as I say, and the city's day and night will unite as a whole."

at the same time.

Deep inside the haunted house.

Another crow, Zhang Ze, is also having a conversation with Gao Jian.

"Your haunted house is indeed impressive. In all the scenes I've seen, there are very few that rely entirely on individual ability. But you have a fundamental problem."

"Everything you have is built on a ghost. If something happens to you, or if something happens to that ghost, then your haunted house will become the most dangerous place in the entire city, killing thousands of people."

"Those two women are examples. Although they are not strong, they are enough to threaten the lives of ordinary people. If they hadn't encountered me, many more people would have died."

Gao Jian said to Zhang Ze with a smile.

But his smile made Zhang Ze feel very uncomfortable, like a smile hiding a knife, completely different from the feeling he gave Chen Ge.

"I can help you build your own terrifying maze from scratch."

Gao Jian is very strong.

You can tell from at least one of his casual tactics.

He's definitely better than Chen Ge now.

As for whether Zhang Ze could defeat them even if he tried his best, perhaps he could, perhaps he couldn't. Zhang Ze was confident that he could kill anyone in the supernatural world if he tried his best.

I appreciate your kind offer.

"I'm just curious what you'll call my haunted house in your mission."

"Are you referring to the Underworld Show?" Gao Jian said. "The Underworld Show considers your haunted house the scariest place in Hanjiang City. If I take you down, my mission will be 100% complete, and my live stream will also be 100% successful, but I'm giving up on doing that."
